Yamaha Xt 660

The Yamaha Xt 660 has a top speed of 165 km/h, produces 48 hp and weighs 179 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

Le Yamaha XT660R a été introduit en 2004 pour succéder à la longue série XT600, avec un moteur monocylindre modernisé et un châssis actualisé pour concurrencer dans le segment bisport. Il était proposé en deux variantes : le XT660R (enduro/dual-sport) et le XT660X (supermoto), tous deux partageant la même plate-forme de moteur de base. Le modèle a gagné en popularité pour sa fiabilité, ses faibles coûts de maintenance et sa polyvalence, restant en production pratiquement inchangée jusqu'en 2016-2017 environ.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

🔧

Rock-Solid Engine Reliability

The XT660's single-cylinder 660cc engine is renowned for longevity, often exceeding 100,000 km with basic maintenance. It shares DNA with Yamaha's proven XT lineage, making parts widely available and affordable.

⚠️

Watch the Cooling System

The XT660R/X models can run hot in heavy city traffic, so inspect the radiator and coolant hoses carefully on used bikes. Overheating issues are common when the cooling system is neglected.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The XT660 holds its value exceptionally well due to its dual-sport versatility and cult following among adventure riders. A well-maintained example typically retains 60-70% of its value after five years.

7.8/10

"Un pouce pare-balles qui récompense la patience plutôt que la vitesse."

La 660 single tire fort dès 3 000 tr/min avec ce bruit sourd satisfaisant que vous aimez ou que vous détestez, et sur les routes B, elle semble vraiment rapide malgré ses modestes 48 chevaux. J'ai parcouru 40 000 km sur le mien à travers l'Espagne et le Maroc et le moteur n'a jamais eu le moindre hoquet : vidanges d'huile, vérification des soupapes, c'est fait. Les points faibles sont toutefois réels : cette banquette se transforme en support de torture au bout de deux heures, le ravitaillement peut monter en flèche à toute vitesse en ville, et la hauteur de 870 mm de la selle incite les plus petits à faire une danse embarrassante sur la pointe des pieds aux feux de signalisation. La version XT660R s'imprègne des pistes de terre avec un sang-froid raisonnable, mais ne vous y trompez pas en pensant qu'elle remplace un véritable vélo d'enduro une fois que le trail devient technique.

Pros

+La fiabilité du moteur frise la légende
+Fort couple à bas et à milieu de gamme
+La variante Supermoto X se manipule avec brio
+Pièces bon marché, entretien facile à domicile
+Étonnamment performant en tout-terrain léger

Les inconvénients

Le confort des sièges est vraiment terrible
Alimentation saccadée en dessous de 4 000 tr/min
Le siège haut exclut les conducteurs de petite taille
Les vibrations supérieures à 120 km/h fatiguent les mains
Idéal pour: Les navetteurs veulent partir à l'aventure le week-end Ignorez si: Vous parcourez de longues distances tous les jours

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion

7.5/10
Idéal pour
Commuters and light adventure riders wanting reliability

"A dependable workhorse that rewards sensible buyers willing to inspect carefully."

$3,500-$6,500 used

The XT660 is one of those bikes that quietly gets the job done without any drama. Yamaha built these things like tanks — the 660cc single thumps along reliably for years if the previous owner wasn't an idiot about oil changes. Check the valve clearances first thing, because they get neglected and a tight valve will ruin your day faster than anything else. The fuel tap O-rings are a known weak point too, so smell the airbox before you hand over cash. Riding it honestly? It's not exciting. The single-cylinder character is satisfying in a workhorse way, but don't expect it to set your pulse racing on a Sunday blast. It handles competently, sits upright and comfortable, and will genuinely do light trails if you're not being stupid about it. The Z model with spoked wheels is the one to hunt for used — far more versatile than the cast-wheel version. Prices have crept up because reliability reputation travels. Don't overpay for high-mileage examples — these aren't rare, patient shopping rewards you.
